Rosemary Le, PhD is a multidisciplinary circus artist specializing in aerial hoop, hammock, loops, and an invented apparatus (aerial cyr wheel). She grew up with a varied movement background of dance, gymnastics, swimming, and martial arts, but always felt like a dancer at heart. In the throes of pursuing her PhD at Stanford University, she discovered aerial hoop in 2016, and it was exactly the physical and creative outlet she needed: higher dimensional dancing. Her interest (ahem obsession) intensified upon discovering the San Francisco Circus Center, at which point she decided that a circus sabbatical was in her future. Those plans were put on hold when the pandemic hit. She spent that time delving into her own training and artistry, and the world of circus arts.
Emerging out of the pandemic, she has performed in Paul Nathan's Dark Kabaret and starred in The Great Star Theater's Over the Moon. She has graced venues such as Berber SF and Los Gatos Promenade, toured with Circus Royal Spectacular in the greater Los Angeles area, and performed with Dahlias Entertainment in San Francisco and beyond.
As of November 2022, she is taking her circus sabbatical and pursuing her art full time. She has an identical twin sister, and is scheming to make an act together one day ... if not in this life, then in another. She loves photography and her current preoccupation is capturing Karl, the San Francisco fog.
